Afterword
HELLO EVERYONE, Yoshino Origuchi here.
I think the Monster Girl Doctor anime will have just started airing just around when Volume 8 came out (in Japan).
But let me start with the pandemic.
An unprecedented coronavirus pandemic has taken the world by storm.
As someone who has always struggled with being unsociable, shutting myself away from the world and lurking in the shadows, it hasn’t really had a huge effect on my personal life. But with the editorial department working remotely, people staying out of bookstores, and the impact all that has had on the animation studio, it has definitely affected my work.
I hope all my readers are taking the necessary precautions to stay safe. I’m writing this afterword in May 2020, and there is no telling what will happen two months from now—but thanks to the hard work of the editor and everyone else involved, Volume 8 will be on shelves.
Follow Dr. Glenn’s advice: Wash your hands, gargle, sanitize, and wear a mask! Actually, he never said that. I just made him say it in this afterword. Please take care of yourselves.
Now, Volume 8 was full of unwholesome acts committed by Aluloona. It can’t be helped. But you liked it, right? An orgy…no, no, it was just group blooming. And self-pollination. It’s not sexual at all.
I wonder how it will look in the anime?
I want to thank everyone who has continued to work with me and taken measures to cope with it all. Many anime events were canceled due to the pandemic. Apparently, it’s even affected the rest of the world, where there are plenty of Monster Girl fans.
I pray that the broadcast will go according to schedule.
There are too few pages in this volume, you say?! That’s why I have such a long message of gratitude prepared!
Editor Hibiu-san! Thank you very much for your hard work on the anime!
Illustrator Z-ton-sensei! Your unwholesome Aluloona was incredible!
Manga creator Thomas Kanemaki-sensei! Thank you for staying on this project!
And thank you to the entire anime staff. And the entire cast. Thank you very much. It’s all thanks to you that we were able to create this product.
Also, thank you to all of the artists who talk to me. I’m talking about the manga artists and illustrators on Twitter, S-B0W, the owner of Jingai Only and its entire staff, and everyone working at bookstores throughout the country. Thank you to the Comic Ryu reps and editorial staff, and my family, whom I haven’t seen much since I left home. Thank you to the proofreaders who find every teeny tiny mistake, and all of you readers. I am forever grateful.
Maybe the younger characters will show up in the next volume? Or maybe they won’t.
Huh? You want more Skadi? Well, she’s definitely not young…
